count(*) tooks much time...
but with the where clause we can make this to use indexing,... what where
clause we can use??
Am using postgres 7.4 in Debian OS with 1 GB RAM,
am having a table with nearly 50 lakh records,
it has more than 15 columns, i want to count how many records are there,
it
is taking nearly 17 seconds to do that...
i know that to get a approximate count we can use
SELECT reltuples FROM pg_class where relname = TABLENAME;
but this give approximate count, and i require exact count...
